1 person thru-hiker palace!

I have now spent 2 months straight sleeping in this tent, and I'm in love!! I spent the summer backpacking in Colorado on the CDT, Washington and Montana on the PNT and never once did this tent let me down! I slept through 40+ mph winds, rain, and hail. For 1 person it's a palace even for me I'm about 6'3" or so and had plenty of room with all my gear on the inside of the tent. With 2 people it's still comfortable and roomy, but with no vestibule gear storage can be interesting with marmots and porcupines chewing on your packs, but in no way is a deal breaker. Long story short I'm in love! P.s. Set up can be tricky to master, but just play around with it you will figure it out simply enough.
Yes , I recommend this product

After getting the tent on trail instead of pitching in the backyard I am extremely pleased with this tents performance. Ventilation was not an issue for me. I spent two nights in the Appalachians and woke both mornings with bone dry walls. the headroom is still limited. Sitting up and changing in the tent may prove to be a challenge for taller people, but I had a palace for a shelter on my most recent trip.
